The outside of a closet sets the style. The inside determines whether it works. At Foscari Interiors, we design closet interiors around what each client owns and how they get dressed, then fit them with organizers and accessories chosen for that purpose.
This guide walks through the closet organizers available in a Foscari closet and how to decide which ones are worth including.
Hanging
- Long hanging for dresses, coats and long garments
- Double hanging for shirts, jackets and trousers, which roughly doubles capacity in the same width
- Pull-down rods that bring high sections within reach
- Integrated lighting in or above hanging sections so colors are easy to see
Start by counting how much long and short hanging you actually need. Most closets have too much long hanging and not enough short.
Drawers
Drawers are the most valuable part of most closets. Options include:
- Full-extension, soft-close drawers in several heights
- Dividers for underwear, socks and folded items
- Felt-lined or segmented trays for jewelry, watches and sunglasses
- Glass-front or glass-top drawers for display
- Locking drawers for valuables
Shoe Storage
Shoes are often the hardest thing to organize. Choices include flat or angled shelves, pull-out shoe racks, and glass-fronted shoe walls with lighting. Plan the shelf heights around the actual mix of flats, sneakers, heels and boots.
Pull-Outs and Specialty Accessories
- Pull-out trouser racks
- Tie, belt and scarf racks
- Valet rods for planning tomorrow’s outfit
- Pull-out laundry hampers
- Pull-out mirrors
- Ironing boards concealed in a drawer or cabinet
Closet Islands
In larger walk-in closets, an island adds drawer storage and a surface for folding, packing and laying out clothes. Islands can include jewelry drawers, glass tops, seating on one side and power for charging.
Lighting
Good lighting changes how a closet feels. Integrated LED lighting in shelves, hanging rods and display cabinets makes everything easy to see, and lighting that switches on as doors open is practical in wardrobes and reach-ins.
How to Choose What You Need
- Take inventory: roughly count hanging items, folded items, shoes and accessories.
- Think about routine: what do you reach for every day, and what is seasonal?
- Prioritize drawers and lighting: they usually add the most to daily use.
- Be selective with specialty items: include the pull-outs you will actually use.
Our designers go through this with you during the consultation and show the result in drawings and renderings before anything is ordered.
Organizers Beyond the Closet
The same approach applies throughout the home. Foscari offers interior accessories for kitchens, pantries, bathrooms and laundry rooms, from cutlery inserts to pull-out pantry systems. See our accessories and organizers page.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can organizers be added to an existing closet?
Our closet interiors are designed as part of the cabinetry system, so they are usually planned with a new closet. Ask our team about your existing space.
What closet accessory is most worth it?
For most clients, well-planned drawers and integrated lighting make the biggest difference day to day.
